- Extendable: 21-40cm
- Stainless Steel
- 7 x 7cm Net
Key Specifications:
- Telescopic Fish Net: The handle extends and retracts, offering adjustable length for convenience and storage.
- 7 x 7cm (Net Head Size): This is the defining feature, indicating a tiny, square net head.
- 7 cm (approximately 2.75 inches) is the width.
- 7 cm (approximately 2.75 inches) is the height.
- This size is specifically designed for:
- Pico tanks/Bowls: Extremely small aquariums where even the 10x8cm net would be too large.
- Fry (Baby Fish): Perfect for carefully transferring very young fish without harming them.
- Very small nano fish: Such as smallest chili rasboras, some micro gobies, or other extremely tiny species.
- Small shrimp: Excellent for precisely catching very small or young shrimp (e.g., Red Cherry Shrimp juveniles).
- Targeted debris removal: For picking out minuscule pieces of detritus or algae in highly intricate aquascapes.
- 21-40cm Long (Handle Length): This indicates the adjustable length of the handle.
- 21 cm (approximately 8.3 inches) is the shortest, retracted length.
- 40 cm (approximately 15.75 inches) is the longest, extended length.
- This compact range is perfectly suited for accessing small tanks, even those on a desk, without excessive handle length getting in the way.
- with Extendable Handle: Reaffirms the "telescopic" feature.
Why this specific net is useful:
- Precision for Smallest Tasks: Its minute size allows for unparalleled precision when working in nano or pico tanks, or when dealing with fry and very small invertebrates.
- Minimal Disturbance: Reduces the risk of disturbing the entire aquascape or stressing other, larger tank inhabitants during targeted operations.
- Ideal for Delicate Critters: The small, fine mesh is gentle on the most delicate fry or shrimp, preventing injury.
- Ultra-Compact Storage: It's the most compact of the range when retracted, fitting into almost any small storage space.
Considerations when using this net:
- Extremely Limited Fish Size: This net is ONLY suitable for very small fish, typically under 1-1.5 inches. Attempting to catch larger fish will be ineffective and stressful.
- Patience: Catching tiny, fast-moving fry can still require patience, even with a perfectly sized net.
- Net Hygiene: Always rinse thoroughly with clean, dechlorinated water before and after use to prevent introducing contaminants or spreading diseases.
